It is not recommended to adjust any of the parts attached to the main tube of a spring like # CB250D96SHD because of the tension on the springs. Only a certified garage door installer should make adjustments.

While it is possible to move the brackets it would be easier to just move the top L-brackets to point out instead of in or just replace them with longer L-brackets to fit the mounts you have.
